Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky has been torched for nine goals on just 39 shots over the last two games, taking consecutive losses to follow up a six-game winning streak. Early in the series, the 35-year-old was generating Conn Smythe buzz, but that has faded with his recent struggles. Bobrovsky is 15-7 with a 2.35 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 23 playoff outings, though it's likely head coach Paul Maurice sticks with the veteran goalie heading into Game 6 in Edmonton on Friday.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 16 shots in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky was pulled early in the second period after his worst game of the series so far. He's had one dud in each round, and the Panthers will hope that getting some time to clear his head Saturday will put him on track to bounce back in Game 5 on Tuesday. Bobrovsky saw a six-game winning streak come to an end, but the Panthers will have up to three more chances to secure the Stanley Cup.

Bobrovsky will guard the road net in Game 4 against Edmonton on Saturday, per Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky has stopped 151 of 160 shots during his six-game winning streak. If he wins again Saturday, the Panthers will hoist the Stanley Cup, and he could earn the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Bobrovsky has a 15-5 record this postseason with a 2.07 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 outings.

Bobrovsky stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky collected his sixth straight win, though this one was a little less comfortable than the previous two games. The Panthers established a 4-1 lead after two periods, but the Oilers scored twice in the third to make it close. Bobrovsky has put the Panthers a game away from winning the Stanley Cup, and he's gone 15-5 with a 2.07 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 playoff outings. He'll look to complete a sweep in Game 4 on Saturday.

Bobrovsky will guard the road goal in Game 3 versus the Oilers on Thursday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky has been spectacular through the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, picking up back-to-back wins while posting an exceptional 0.50 GAA and .980 save percentage. The Oilers have gone 6-3 at home this postseason, and they'll undoubtedly be desperate to try to avoid falling into a 3-0 series hole, so Bob could face his toughest test yet from Edmonton on Thursday.

Bobrovsky made 18 saves on 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky is now two wins away from helping the Panthers raise the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. The 35-year-old has won five consecutive contests while not allowing more than two goals in a game during that span. Bob has been beaten by Edmonton only once in the series, making a total of 50 saves on 51 shots. The Russian netminder has lost consecutive outings just once this postseason, so it'll be an uphill battle for the Oilers going forward. Bobrovsky is 14-5 with a 2.02 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 19 postseason appearances.

Bobrovsky is slated to be between the pipes at home for Game 2 against the Oilers on Monday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bobrovsky was phenomenal in Game 1, stopping all 32 shots he faced to record his second playoff shutout. The netminder is currently riding a four-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.24 GAA and .953 save percentage. Considering the Russian hasn't sat a game out since the regular-season finale versus Toronto on April 16, he figures to remain the Panthers' preferred option in the crease the rest of the way.

Bobrovsky posted a 32-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers' offense provided plenty of challenges, but Bobrovsky was in peak form to shut them down throughout the game. This was his second shutout of the playoffs -- he also opened the Eastern Conference Finals by backstopping a 3-0 win over the Rangers. Bobrovsky is 13-5 with a 2.08 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 18 appearances, and it's a virtual guarantee he starts again in Game 2 on Monday.
